Hi Yes I recently had this type of surgery RLL. Had robot assisted procedure to remove malignant tumor Sclc early stage. 6 hours in theatre 3 days hospital came home with drain.. Im post op 6 months still pain as described by consultant and was expected. My last scan was no spread don't need further treatment obviously further scans for the future to keep an eye on things... Managing pain bit swings and roundabouts to be fair. But managing can take up to 12 months I was told. Hope this helps good luck for surgery hope all goes well.
